Monster Cookies

I always wondered why these cookies were called Monster Cookies... and now I know! After the first bite, you cannot get enough and you attack them like a monster. At least that was my reaction! These cookies are peanut buttery, soft & gooey, hearty and have a little crunch from the M & M candies. Divine. Delish. Yummy. All gone! Enjoy :)

Melt butter and pour into a large bowl. With a wooden spoon, stir in both sugars and peanut butter. Let cool for a few minutes and add in eggs stirring until just blended. Stir in the baking soda, chocolate chips and M & M candies. Add oats in one cup at a time until combined. Let chill for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Preheat oven to 350. Place balls onto a very lightly sprayed baking sheet and flatten slightly. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not over bake! Let cool on sheet 3 minutes before removing.

Yes, you can absolutely freeze the cookie dough. I would recommend balling it up, placing it on a cookie sheet to freeze and then placing the frozen balls in a Ziploc in the freezer. Then, you can grab a few balls if you are wanting a small treat, or a dozen if you are making them to take somewhere!
